Football project

11.00a.m. on Wednesday mornings at The Good Shepherd Mission

Homeless people are often deprived of the usual recreational and sporting opportunities most of us take for granted. Over the past year another partnership has been formed with ‘Ambassadors in Sport’ (www.aisint.org) , a group which shares Christ through football related activities, and with a captain from the Salvation Army. The project facilitates football coaching and a game on Wednesday mornings, followed by a simple lunch at the Mission. Those who attend are invited to stay on for an opportunity to look at some aspect of the Christian faith from the Bible. A football team has now been formed named Whitechapel Genesis FC, and trips to competitive matches are arranged throughout the year.
